Up to 6 people or 6,000 lbs (2,722 kg) in cargo compartment. The bomb bay can be converted for an additional 10 people.
POWER PLANT:Two Pratt and Whitney/Rolls Royce PR7500 Nuclear Thrust Reactors. The BD-1's sheer size made it more economical to use nuclear reactors than protoculture cells or generators to power the mecha. There is a protoculture generator, simaler to that of the VF series variable fighter to power protoculture weapons and systems.
SCRAMJET ENGINES: On the winged versions there are four Thames Industries forced gas thrusters. These operate much like a scramjet, requiring a minimum speed of 600 mph to begin operation. Note: These are air breathing devices, so they will not operate in space.
WEAPON SYSTEMS:
MAIN GUN: Integrated with the BD-1, uses the mech's own power system to fire one sustained burst. Gross aiming is done by the pilot, who must orient the entire mecha to aim. A magnetic bottling system allows fine tune adjustments up to 5.5 degrees in any direction. At Tirol, robotech development used the main gun of the BD-1 as a test platform for disruptor technology. It is unknown how many of the units were converted to this variation. As a firing platform, the mech's arms pivot back and support the mech on its back while it's knees are bent. Pilots call this "crab-walking," because it resembles the childhood game from earth.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Bombardment
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-ship weapon
RANGE: 15 miles
DAMAGE: 3D10 x 20 MDC
RATE OF FIRE: Once a melee (Uses three attacks)
PAYLOAD: Effectively Unlimited.
TRIPLE BARRELED AUTO CANNON (4): Mounted in four 120 degree turrets on the mech's chest , these cannon protect the BD-1 from forward, above and below. This is the same auto cannon from the VHT. It fires 32mm rounds.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Anti-mecha
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Assault
RANGE: 4000 feet (1200 m)
DAMAGE: 6D6 M.D.
RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the number of combined attacks of the pilot/gunner.
PAYLOAD: 40 bursts can be fired before reloading is required. Reloading is automatic, but takes one full melee. The BD-1 carries enough ammo for 20 reloads (800 bursts).
RAIL GUNS (2): Mounted above the mecha's shoulders in fixed positions, these guns fire simultaneously straight "up", twenty-five feet apart. Like the Main Gun, these must be aimed with the whole mecha. Fires explosive depleted uranium slugs.
PRIMARY PURPOSE: Bombardment
SECONDARY PURPOSE: Assault
RANGE: 2 miles
DAMAGE: 1D10 x10
RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the number of combined attacks of the pilot/gunner.

SECONDARY PURPOSE: Anti-mecha
MISSILE TYPE: Varies, can use most REF bombs or mines.
DAMAGE: Varies with ordinance type.
RATE OF FIRE: Up to four volleys of 2, limited by the combined attacks of the pilot/gunner.
HAND TO HAND COMBAT: The BD-1's great strength gives it great damage, however, due to its size, hand to hand combat with any but the largest of enemy mecha is ungainly at best. As a result of this, the BD-1 is -3 to strike and -5 to dodge when fighting anything less than forty feet in height.
DAMAGE:
Restrained Punch: 2D4 M.D.
Full Strength Punch: 3D6 M.D.
"Booster" Punch: 4D6 M.D. (counts as three attacks)

Body Flip/Throw: 1D4 M.D.
Body Block/Tackle: 2D6 M.D.
Stomp: 2D10 M.D. (only effective against objects 15 feet tall or less)
STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE VF-11:
COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: The BD-1 is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. The entire cockpit canopy of the BD-1 is a large HUD display, which allows the computer to display large amounts of data to the pilot and even highlight enemies and missile attacks with overlaid graphics. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 10,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 250 targets simultaneously. The cockpit module has five large multipurpose screens, configurable from any station. Any or all of these screens can be used as a "threat board" by the combat computer.
ESCAPE POD: The entire reinforced cockpit of the BD-1 is a detachable escape pod that can be jettisoned when the mecha is destroyed. The ejected cockpit does contain limited thrusters, which are designed to pick up the cockpit module and move it out of harms way should the BD-1 explode. Maximum range on an earthlike planet is one mile. It also contains a powerful locator beacon and an integrated life support system that can support the pilots for up to 34 hours after ejection. The pod is also equipped with parachutes in case of ejection in an atmosphere. The combat computer is programmed to automatically eject the escape pod if the mecha is destroyed (main body MDC reduced to 0), but this can be overridden if the pilot is feeling suicidal for some reason. Cyclone storage areas are in the cockpit unit, so they will be ejected as well.
EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
LASER TARGETING SYSTEM: Range: 100 miles (160 km). Used for increased accuracy in the striking of enemy targets and is partly responsible for the mecha's strike bonus.
LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
OPTICS: VISUAL AMPLIFICATION: Max amplification 500X. Adds +10% to anyone using a tracking or detect concealment skill.
RADAR: 400 mile (321 km) range.
RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
SELF-DESTRUCT: To prevent capture of a variable fighter by the enemy, the pilot can activate the BD-1's self-destruct system, which will cause the mecha to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes (time is set by the pilot). The explosive damage is contained within a 40 foot (11. 6 m) area and inflicts 2D6x10 M.D. to everything within the radius of the explosion. All internal systems are obliterated. The escape pod will be automatically ejected prior to the explosion unless the pilot overrides the ejection sequence.
STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All mecha come equipped with a 2 portable survival kits. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The BD-1's cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot and crew's flight suits, thus providing them with pressurized breathing. The flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot's blacking out in combat.
